TV shows. Disney ones for tweens especially. Mindless chatter, all of them. Why let your kids watch them? Their morals only go as deep as a kiddie pool, and their characters only focus on either who's the cutest boy or girl, or.... well, who's the cutest boy or girl.
Disney's role models only go as deep as their clothes and make-up. Their bathroom humor may seem funny, but it's all about the lack of hygiene of this person, or who farted or burped in front of these other people, and they're humiliated in front of everyone.
Disney's morals include, If You're Rich it Makes You Dumb, But it Sure Makes You Famous! And, Don't Pick A Girlfriend Who Looks Pretty, But Smells Like A Pig, And Loves To Belch it Out. Or how about this one? Let's Sneak Out to A Grown-Up Party, Your Parent (notice there's only one) Finds Out And Comes and Gets You, And Only Grounds You For 2 Weeks. From what exactly? We never find out. They still have their cell phones, still are around the same friends during that time, and still are allowed to be on their little dancing show.
Now we come to the people themselves. We find young teens who only think of themselves and laugh at everyone else, and parents who only act like they are concerned for their children. But it's the children who end up doing anything they want to.
Then They portray parents who aren't even fit to be parents. Parents should be role models for their children. But instead, they go so far as to allow their children to do something immature just because they want to try it out themselves. They are portrayed as little kids with no boundaries because they are "older".
And, back to the teens, the "stars" of the show. The boys and girls, for that's what they really are, no matter how old they might look, are just plain pathetic. The guys are brought out as wimps, who can barely lift a 5-pound weight. Their arms are as skinny as chicken legs, they are very short, and, on some of them, their hair could be make into cute little pony tails.
The girls can either do anything a guy can do (even may go as far as lifting 6-pound weights!), or act so dumb, they think gullible is written on their forehead. Clearly these immature punks are not good role models for children.
The kids on these shows show laziness, a lack of respect for their parents, and what big "mistakes" can they make next. If you don't care whether you kids watch these Disney shows, then your funeral. You may not care, but your children sure do. They are the ones watching it, and following these people's example. Just think, if our next generation in America acted like this, Where would America be? An easily captured, mindless, in deeper debt, Selfish America, that's what. You may think one little show wouldn't make much of a difference, but believe me, these shows are influencing your creative children to be mindless jokers. More than you think.
So, That's all I will say about these TV shows, even though I have a lot more to say. A Lot More. Think about what I've said. It is true and you know it. If you're truly concerned about your child's welfare, then you might consider the influence of what they watch.

I agree wholeheartedly. Disney used to be a great channel, but now it's junked with Shake it Up, Sonny with a Chance, and so on.
I've always thought Disney channel was nothing but stupidity, though it is funny (sometimes). they are secular shows.....note the *secular* part. So of course they're not trying to promote Christian morals. overall they're not bad (in comparison to any other TV show for that age group). The Hannah Montana show always has a good moral of sorts, from what I've seen of it anyway. It's a dumb show, but it always ends in Miley learning something like "I need to respect my parent's wishes", or "I need to trust my parent", or "I need to be kinder and think before I say things, as people can be hurt otherwise" and such. Other than that, I can't think of any other show that has good morals.
I don't see a problem with the channel, other than it's dumb and hard-up for plot ideas and the actors are not that great.
And about the guys being wimps and the girls being dumb or "just as good" as guys, well - that's just the show being politically correct. Note that a lot of (if not all of) the shows now have asian/black characters. That's political correctness for ya.
Sure, the morals are not that great in general, but duhh, it's NOT a Christian show. it's DISNEY, for cryin' out loud. They might include rude humor sometimes, but flip the channel to any other comedy show (for teens, or adults) and you'll realize that Disney's shows are much cleaner.
Good job, and btw I DO agree with everything you said here, other than I don't see a reason not to watch it, if you really are into that kind of stupid show.
Yes I agree with you about watching it. It's your choice, and I'm not going to really try to make you not watch what you like. But is it the Best? God shows us in the bible, that whatever is pure and honorable, then to dwell on those things. (Phil. 4:8) We Christians are to be as much like God as possible, and to follow in His footsteps (even though we cannot ever be perfect).
So, what do You think about Disney, is it really pure, lovely, and of good repute? It may show good morals on some of them, but we as people already know what we should do. We know that we should obey parents, but we have to figure that out for ourselves. Seeing it on TV is different from experiencing it ourselves.
And apart from that, the rest of the Disney shows are not going to morals in them either. That is only one. But it is your choice to watch these things. This is Only my opinion, not everyone needs to take it. :) I'm glad everyone liked it though. :D
